Chapter 1034 Identity is clear, rules are in place
Without tasting the wine of the world, one cannot know the intoxication within; without experiencing the connections of the secular world, one cannot know the flavor within.
At the bottom of Jingyun Gorge, Shen Yichen sighed at the unexpected encounter with the Ji family again. Only four words echoed in his mind:
"It's fate, it's destiny!"
Shen Yichen didn't care why the Ji family was in this godforsaken place; all he could think about was how to leave, as soon as possible and as far away as possible. But Yixuan beside him didn't seem to think the same way.
Shen Yichen thought for a moment, then stepped forward, intentionally or unintentionally shifting his position to block Yixuan, and bowed deeply!
"Senior, we have strayed into this place by mistake. Please do us a favor and tell us how to leave Jingyun Gorge!"
“Brother Qingchen, I reminded you before, if you can’t speak, then don’t speak. Music can convey people’s thoughts. You’ve been playing the purple jade flute all night, how come you don’t know what people are thinking?”
Shen Yichen was genuinely angry, muttering to himself:
What he thinks is none of my business.
Shen Yichen suddenly turned his head and asked in surprise:
"Wait, how do you know my flute is called the Purple Jade Cave Flute?"
"You said it yourself!"
Shen Yichen was somewhat dazed, muttering to himself:
"Did I say that?"
Shen Yichen really forgot!
"Take a good look at the words on their door, listen to their music, and think about what they want. You come up here and say, 'Senior, I want to leave,' do you have any sense? Do you think you can just come and go as you please? This is their hiding place!"
Shen Yichen was both angry and embarrassed. Of course he could see that, but he didn't want to have anything to do with the Ji family!
Helpless, Shen Yichen retreated to Yixuan's side again. He decided to let Yixuan handle it. After all, Yixuan was also a member of the Ji family, and perhaps they had some connection!
"Brother Qingchen, as a member of the Ji family, you should at least make a statement, right? Take a good look at what the couplet means. The person doesn't want to associate with evil spirits and wants to return to the Ji family, but the Ji family clearly won't accept them. At the very least, you should tell them that you are a junior member of the Ji family who has wandered the world, and that you are insignificant and can't help them. Please, senior, show them a way out!"
"Cough cough... cough cough..."
Shen Yichen was so angry from Yixuan's scolding that he coughed incessantly outside the courtyard, and it took him a long time to calm down.
"It's not like you're not a member of the Ji family. You are a member of the Ji family, so tell me yourself!"
Shen Yichen could only make it clear that he was genuinely angry. This had nothing to do with him; it was Tian Xianglong who caused the trouble.
"Tch, first of all, whether I am a member of the Ji family or not is none of your business. Secondly, I know you have always suspected that I am a member of the Ji family, do you have any evidence? You know the Heaven and Earth Unity Holy Emperor Technique, but I don't. As for saying that I know the Heaven and Earth Unity Holy Emperor Technique, I know many people in the martial arts world. I've heard my master mention it, so what's wrong with that?"
Yi Xuan also pointed it out, it seems these two have forgotten that they are still in the abyss at the bottom of Jingyun Gorge!
Yi Xuan's purpose was too obvious: to tell the man in the small building about Shen Yichen's mastery of the Holy Emperor's Technique of the Unity of Heaven and Earth.
Shen Yichen's face turned bright red with anger.
"The tune he just played was a Ji family tune. You can play it too? Dare to say you're not a member of the Ji family?"
"Brother Qingchen, you've finally admitted you're a member of the Ji family!"
Shen Yichen was startled upon hearing this!
"You, you tricked me!"
Yi Xuan smiled slightly and muttered to himself:
"Ji Qingchen, that name clearly doesn't match. Ji Yichen, that's your real name, isn't it?"
After Yi Xuan finished speaking, he looked at Shen Yi Chen with a shocked expression and pointed at Shen Yi Chen:
"You, you're really Ji Yichen?"
Sigh, Shen Yichen was distressed. He didn't know whether he should admit that he was Ji Yichen.
Ji Yichen, the former young master of the Ji family, Yi Xuan was definitely shocked by his identity.
"My last name is Shen Yichen, and I am not from the Ji family!"
Shen Yichen didn't want to dwell on this issue anymore, so he could only forcefully express his opinion.
Little did anyone know that Yixuan himself was shaking his head frantically, muttering to himself:
"How could this be? Absolutely impossible! But you know the Holy Emperor's Art of Unity of Heaven and Earth, so you must be a member of the Ji family without a doubt. But, but, something's not right, something's not right, there must be a big problem somewhere..."
Shen Yichen was a little confused; Yixuan's reaction was too abnormal.
Shen Yichen rubbed his head. He was really having a headache over the Ji family's affairs, and he didn't know how to handle them.
Shen Yichen decided to face the people in the small building as a wandering swordsman, and he bowed again:
"This junior, Shen Yichen, has stumbled into this place by mistake. I beg you, senior, to show me a way out. I swear that once I leave the bottom of Jingyun Gorge, I will not mention a word about what happened here!"
Shen Yichen always believed that the man in purple robes in the small building was magnanimous and would not make things difficult for them.
The man in purple used his finger to control the qi, writing three characters at Shen Yichen's feet:
"Wait until it gets dark!"
Shen Yichen was overjoyed!
"Thank you, senior!"
The gate to the courtyard opened, and the old man carrying a lantern bowed and waited, indicating that he wanted Shen Yichen and his companion to come in, but Shen Yichen dared not.
This time, Shen Yichen let Yixuan make the decision again.
Shen Yichen immediately covered Yixuan's mouth with his hand, putting Yixuan in a dead end. He kept muttering incoherently.
"Snapped!"
A huge slap in the face!
"Are you crazy? I don't have that kind of fetish!"
Shen Yichen's eyes widened like copper bells as he stared blankly at Yixuan. This reaction was just too much!
"I, I, you, you..."
Shen Yichen covered his face; Yixuan's slap really hurt!
Shen Yichen thought for a moment, swallowed his anger, and said coldly:
"Brother Yixuan, no one cares whether you are a member of the Ji family or not, and no one cares whether I am a member of the Ji family or not. Stop being so presumptuous, okay? Besides, once you enter the martial world, does it really matter whether you are a member of the Ji family or not? We are just wandering swordsmen, and we must abide by the rules of the martial world. If the host is hospitable, we should know how to behave and know when to advance and retreat. How can we only think about our own petty thoughts?"
After Shen Yichen finished speaking, he was secretly overjoyed. He had also taught Yixuan a lesson, and Yixuan was completely stunned by what he heard.
The results of it?
Yixuan said:
"Is this why Ji Xuanfeng hasn't returned to the Ji family for five hundred years?"
Shen Yichen's heart was shattered into pieces!
"I, I'm going to... damn it, I'm not a member of the Ji family, and I don't know Ji Xuanfeng!"
Shen Yichen couldn't care less about anything else and walked straight into the courtyard. But Yixuan didn't follow him. Instead, she looked up at the pavilion in the courtyard and said coldly:
"Once you enter the martial world, can you throw away the etiquette and rules of the Ji family? Since you have the Ji family in your heart, how can you be so disrespectful to the young master of the Ji family?"
Shen Yichen stopped after taking only one step into the courtyard. He turned back to look at Yixuan and said helplessly:
"I don't care who you are, my surname is Shen, my given name is Yichen, and I'm not a member of the Ji family!"
"Sigh, the former young master of the Ji family disappeared more than ten years ago. Not long ago, he caused quite a stir in Jianying, Yingzhou. But the Ji family has not been expelled. So whether you admit it or not, the Ji family has to acknowledge it, and the people of Zhidian Hall should acknowledge it even more!"
Yi Xuan quietly looked at the man in purple robes in the small building; these words were clearly meant for the man in purple robes.
Shen Yichen smiled slightly!
"Yi Xuan, I don't care who you are, you're wrong. The leader of the Ji family's Demon Extermination Hall has already made my identity clear: I am the demon of the Ji family. Regardless of whether the Ji family expels me or not, I think I am no longer a member of the Ji family, and I can never be one!"
"Demon Extermination Hall? Hmph, Demon Extermination Hall doesn't represent the Ji family. However, Demon Extermination Hall can kill you; that's their duty to exorcise demons. But that doesn't affect your status as the former young master of the Ji family. Whether or not your name is removed is decided jointly by the Ji family royal family and the Hall of Order. I came from the Ji family, but I have no news of your name being removed, so you are still the former young master of the Ji family!"
Yi Xuan has also openly admitted that he is a member of the Ji family, and he can no longer hide it. However, there is no need to hide it anymore. Why make Shen Yichen guess and guard against everything?
Most importantly, Yixuan wanted to get closer to Shen Yichen.
The fact that the chosen one is the young master of the Ji family was truly unexpected for Yi Xuan, or rather, truly shocking!
This was the first time Shen Yichen had heard so much about the Ji family, and he couldn't quite process it all. But he wasn't stupid. The people in the small building were related to the Ji family's Zhidian Hall, and the Zhidian Hall was probably similar to the Demon Extermination Hall, and held a high position within the Ji family!
Another one is the Ji family royal family. Shen Yichen himself comes from the Ji family royal family!
Outside the nameless courtyard at the bottom of Jingyun Gorge, the atmosphere was somewhat tense and strange.
Yi Xuan was waiting for the attitude of the man in purple in the small building. This was very important, as this was the rule of the Ji family!
Whether in the Ji family or in the martial arts world, these rules should remain and should endure.
